On July 1, 2017, I will be stepping down as pre-law advisor and director of the pre-law program. I am pleased to announce that my colleague in the Department of Philosophy, Richard Nunan, will be the new director and pre-law advisor. You can contact him with your questions about law school at nunanr@cofc.edu.

It has been my privilege to serve in this position since 2011. Over that time, we have created a popular new concentration in Politics, Philosophy and Law and a non-credit LSAT prep class in May. We have made the annual Constitution Day lecture into a signature event on campus, and hosted many other lectures and discussions on the law and the law school admissions process. I have worked with hundreds of students who have gone on to succeed in law school and beyond. I thank all the many administrators, faculty, staff, and students who have helped to support the program, and I know that under Richard’s direction, the program is positioned to support our pre-law students into the indefinite future.

If you need to contact me in particular, I will not be hard to find. Just come by my new office as chair of the Department of Philosophy (14 Glebe Street, room 200), or email me at krasnoff@cofc.edu.

Every year, Pre-Law offers a non-credit LSAT prep class in May. The class runs for four weeks before the June LSAT, meeting Monday through Thursday evenings, on the main campus downtown. All are welcome to enroll; you do not have to be a College of Charleston student. The cost in past years has been $600, less than half of what commercial providers typically charge for a comparable class.

Some students in the prep class take the LSAT immediately, in June; others wait until September or December. At this time we are not able to offer LSAT prep classes before the other administrations of the LSAT, though we are currently exploring We do encourage currently enrolled students to take the June LSAT, because they will also be busy with academic work in October, December and February.
